My recent photo of the Deer Lick galaxy group

My recent Deer Lick Galaxy Group photo, but with added annotation showing all visible galaxy names.

All PGC and NGC designations are distant galaxies.

“Spiral galaxy NGC 7331 is a foreground galaxy in the same field as the collection, which is also called the Deer Lick Group. It contains four other members, affectionately referred to as the “fleas.”
lol

Also here is my photo with all stars, and with some star reduction. ‘1 hour, 42 minutes.

Some photos I took of Comet C 2023 A3

 

By the way, these nifty 10-second shots of the comet I took the other night in our back yard were not taken with a fancy or expensive lens.
It’s a Canon “kit lens” (general-purpose low-end zoom lens that comes with a camera).
It’s the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Here it is on Amazon, renewed for 115 dollars

Here it is brand new on Amazon for 149 dollars
